ABC Airs One On One Interview With Biden

12 weeks ago President Joe Biden, fighting to save his endangered reelection effort, said his disastrous debate performance last week was a “bad episode” and there were “no indications of any serious condition” in a highly anticipated interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. He repeatedly rejected taking an independent medical evaluation that would show voters he is up for serving another term in office. Yet Biden’s rigorous efforts to course correct from his debate performance were not yet quelling internal party frustrations. One influential Democratic senator is working on a nascent push that would encourage the president to exit the race. Biden told reporters earlier Friday that he is “completely" ruling out quitting the race.
